Ok on Facebook for the month of November people wrote everyday what they were THANKFUL FOR. This being the last day of November I thought I would just put 1 blog on what I am thankful for. If you know me and seen my FB post I post things off the top of my head, didn't think I could go a whole month with being serious! So what are you thankful for?
I am thankful for a lot of things! Alison for being the wonderful person she is. She puts others before herself and has been a great motivator at keeping me on this road I began over a year ago to get healthier! I am amazed by her on a daily basis. I could not have asked for a better person in my life than her. I truly thank god every night that I meet her! We have been married for 4 years and been thru some great times and some sad times. It is amazing that I found someone that I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with! I could go on and on about her and she knows how special she is to me!
My family is very special to me as well. If it were not for my parents I would not be where I am today. I truly believe that. I take traits from both of them. For better or worse ha. Think I take being a people pleaser from my mom and my stubbornness from my dad haha. They have taught me a lot in my 31 years of life, and there is no way I could ever repay them for it. I am extremely proud of what they have accomplished and what they have taught me. I am grateful that they are always there for me. Anytime I need to talk or whatever it may be I can count on them. I am also thankful for my extended family as well. This is from my in-laws which I could not have ever in my wildest dreams of asked for better in-laws, they are truly amazing! The support I get from my family as a whole is amazing!
They say friends are family that you choose, I really believe that. Some of my friends I have known my entire life, some since high school & college and some just recently. You really can not help who you become friends with. I am thankful I have you all in my life. Its funny sometimes you can go weeks without talking or even months and when you get back together its like nothing has changed. Tho I do not think I have gone that long from being around friends. Thank you all for being there for me thru some tough times and good times, and I truly would do anything for you guys! Well except burry another body again, btw Jason we need to talk about that... LOL JK damn CIA going to be on my doorstep! Look forward to many good times with old and new friends for sure!
I am thankful that I got my ass in gear to get in overall better health! It has NOT been easy by any means. I wish I could sit here and say oh it was a breeze, but in reality its fucking hard work. Some of you can walk by a bakery or bake cookies, cake or anything and not think about it. May have 1 just to see how it taste. Me well I think i have to try a dozen to make sure it was correct ha.. But it is true, I have never had self control for as long as I can remember. I can remember one thanksgiving over at my grandma jeans house. I was younger in grade school. I would eat so much that it was hard to get to sleep at night becuase I was so full. I know you can say hey thats being young... But it didnt stop heck even up until a few years ago I would still eat like that... Maybe thats why I got to 300lbs.. But I am glad that I decided to get into better health. Yes I had some motivation to get there, and that same motivation could have broke me down again to just eat the way I used to but I made a promise and I am not looking back. I feel amazing compared to where I was before. I have tons of people to thank for that! Wife and Family is a given! But also an thankful for WeightWatchers for giving me a plan that works and not being a diet but a way I want to live the rest of my life! My ww Leader Beth, I have went to many different ww meetings and meet many ww leaders, tho they are all good at what they do I just never really stuck with it. She has really motivated me to stick with it and is a great leader! I am thankful for the experiences ww has given me. I truly think I would still be 300+ if I did not start the program. I have even been interviewed by ww casting for commercial spots and other plans. Tho I did not make the 3rd cut they still want to keep me in mind for future things which is exciting for me!
I have many more things I am thankful for but these are the main. Thank you for reading my blog. I am currently working on a new blog layout that I am hoping to debut the first or 2nd week of December! I will post on here what the new address will be and hope you all follow me on there. This was started as a way for me to write about my weight loss for 1 year to reach a goal! It has really helped me to write about it and I will continue to do so and hope you enjoyed reading it.
Thank you all!
Donny
